Is it OK to get dermal fillers a few days after minor surgery?

Question

I was hoping to book in for lip fillers 3 days after having a colonoscopy and an endoscopy which will involve anesthetic. Is it safe to get fillers 4 days after anesthetic? Thanks

It should be okay to proceed with injectables after the procedures you are describing.  Each procedure and anesthesia is different, so make sure that the injector knows exactly what you are going to do.  Remember that patients should be off of things that can cause the blood to be, "thin", and cause bleeding or brusing. (i.e. aspirin, ibuprofen, ginko, etc;).
It is important to communicate with your experienced injector and be on the "same page" as to the desired result.  Please have reasonable expectations.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have lip fillers done 3 days after a colonoscopy and endoscopy which involved anesthesia.  There should be no interaction between the two events.

Daniel Butz, MD · Answer

There is no reason you can't get injectable fillers after having a colonoscopy/endoscopy under anesthesia. As long as you're feeling well and not taking any blood thinners it will be fine. It would certainly be preferable to have it done after the procedure compared to before since the endoscopy will require some manipulation of your lips.

Yes it is safe unless you have some other health issues you have not mentioned. The anesthetic should not be a problem with the filler. Best Wishes, Maurice Vick MD

The lip fillers treatment shouldn't be affected by the treatments you are having or the anesthetic you will be given.
